You're a good man....I could never do that trade! LOL!! Congrats!

Me neither.

WORD!!! Why on earth would anyone WANT their wife to drive their car is unfathomable. LOL

Seriously, recipe for disaster.
But her a 98 civic for like 2-3k, they last forever.

Make the wife learn how to drive the Shelby.

My wife wouldn't have let me buy an auto! She tried mine a few weeks back and told me it was too powerful for her but liked how it shifted and felt. Now momma wants a convertible new edge 4.6/5speed.

I hate the slack/slop in the driveshaft of my wife's 2014 auto!
Took it back to the dealership with 3,000 miles, they said it was the norm.
I have never owned a Stang auto or manual, with this much slack.
Very annoying to me. Not happy at all with that part of it.
good luck and congrats on your car.

Sorry for the jack... What do you mean slack/slop? We have no slack or slop with our 14 A6. There is a crappy delay when hitting the gas from a put-put cruising position. But no slack. This concerns me!

Maybe your dealer needs a good or you are describing something different than I am interrupting.

Sounds more like the shifting into 1st clunk

Maybe he is just reallllllllll sensitve? I mean every 5.0 I have driven has had a tad of drivetain lash, which is normal.

Please elaborate...

When my trans downshifts to 1st gear when moving slowly in clunks because the gear is so low

 

[Doug M]

It's more than the first gear clunk ''to me'' anyway.
Even in 6th on the interstate, without it shifting down to 5th. I can let off the gas and then easily get back on, and it will pop, like it has more slack than it should have.
Maybe it's normal, but it seems like it has way more slack than it should.

Not all tunes do this. My car does it on one tune but doesnt do it on another.

Has nothing to do with the gear being too low. Its based on fluid pressure from what some tuners have told me.

 

[2011/5.0]

That doesnt seem right

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

What doesnt?

 

[Doug M]

This is slack, not a clunk. It does it more than in just first.
I owned a 05 auto for 6 years, and it never had this much slack. Maybe it's just me?

That is fixable. Don't you have a Mike Rousch tune? Mine did that, and he fixed it...ask him for an update. The downshift line pressue needs to be lowered a tad.

 

[2011/5.0]

Ya im running his tune Its bad ass

 

[FIVE-OH]

Well then call him Tuesday and tell him you want the downshift clunk fixed...he did it on my car.

 

[2011/5.0]

I dont daily drive it. So it doest bother me Its a car cruise and drag car. I told mike the 1/4 et was the most important part of my tune

Now that makes sense to me...

Keep us informed... I plan to run Mike's tune next year...
